#22167: nethack runs as root ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: adam.gc.watkins@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: High | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: nethack ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Nethack runs as root, via setuid on '/opt/local/share/nethackdir/nethack'. It might sensible to setgid as 'games' or similar and set permissions appropriately elsewhere, but to run nethack as root by default is insane from a security perspective. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22167> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
